According to the striking workers of the Examination Department the University has to pay tens of millions under the head of Leave Encashment.

Many banks, canteens and petrol pumps were reportedly allowed to operate without any agreement in Karachi University while millions of rupees were also reportedly issued illegally in the name of leave encashment and overtime, whereas NAB has begun investigation against current and Former Vice Chancellors.
According to NAB sources, annually 90 million rupees were issued illegally under the head of leave encashment, while millions of rupees were disbursed illegally under the head of overtime. Over 50 residential quarters of Karachi University were occupied by influential people, while different banks, canteens and petrol pumps were also operating illegally.
